moving files

by wallen . Updated 23 years, 8 months ago

When I move a folder from one network drive to another (for example from
“X” to “U”), I get a “Sharing Violation” error. I also get this error
when I am moving a folder within the same network drive (for example
from one location in the “X” drive to another in the “X” drive). This
error causes the following:

> 1) An empty copy of the original folder is left behind in its original
> location; or
>
> 2) Midway through the file transfer, I receive the “Sharing Violation”
> error, resulting in only a partial transfer of the files. All remaining
> files then have to be individually transferred. An empty copy of the
> original folder is always left behind.
>
> This is a problem because it causes confusion for the team working on
the same project. It also poses the risk of losing files during the
transfer. This happens to nearly every folder I try to move using the
“move to folder” function.
